Cardiac insufficiency happens when the heart is unable to pump strongly enough to ensure sufficient blood reaches the entire body. And if your dog is more tired than usual, lacking appetite, and coughing persistently, there may be something up with their heart. Manage your dog’s cardiac insufficiency without complications with Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Dog CC Cardio Care.

Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets Dog CC Cardio Care is a complete food for adult dogs with chronic cardiac insufficiency. Purina’s specialists have formulated this diet to ensure proper support of heart function and cardiac insufficiency from the early stages of the disease.

This Purina cardiac food helps to strengthen hearts with compromised mitral valve function due to its combination of heart-protective nutrients. These nutrients include amino acids, Omega-3 fatty acids, medium-chain triglycerides, minerals, and vitamin E. As a result, it helps to slow the progression of mitral valve pathology even in its early stages.

Medium-chain triglycerides in this formula are an alternative energy source for myocytes, which function may be impaired by cardiac insufficiency. Additionally, Purina Cardio Care contains Taurine, which also helps support a healthy heart and cardiac function.

Lastly, Purina CC CardioCare improves cardiac function in dogs with a mitral heart murmur (rapid and turbulent blood flow, causing sounds). In fact, 60% of the dogs on this diet had a size reduction of the left auricle. In addition, 30% of the dogs had a reduction in mitral valve regurgitation (heart murmur).
